Wot Cheer Knocked 'em In The Old Kent Road - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
WOT CHEER(Knocked 'Em in the Old Kent Road) Composed by Charles Ingle. 
Last week down our alley came a toff, Nice old geezer with a nasty cough; Sees my Missus, takes 'is topper off In a very gentlemanly way; "Ma'am," says he, "I have some news to tell, Your rich uncle, Tom of Camberwell, Popped off recent, which ain't a sell, Leaving you 'is little donkey Shay." 
Chorus. "Wot cheer!" all the neighbors cried, "Who're yer goin' to meet, Bill? have yer bought the street, Bill?" Laugh? I thought I should 'ave died. Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road! 
Some says nasty things about the moke, One cove thinks 'is leg is really broke; That's 'is envy, 'cos' we're carriage folk, Like the toffs as rides in Rotten Row; Straight, it woke the alley up a bit, Thought our lodger would 'ave 'ad a fit When my missus, whose real wit, Says, 'ates a 'bus because its low." --Chorus. 
When we starts, the blessed donkey stops, He won't move, so out I quickly 'ops, Pals start whackin' him when down he drops, Some one says he wasn't made to go. Lor ", it might 'ave been a four-in- and, My old Dutch Knows 'ow to the grand, First she bows, and then she waves 'er 'and, Calling out we're goin' for a blow!- Chorus. 
Ev'ry evenin' on the stroke of five, Me and missus takes a little drive; You'd say, "Wonderful, they're still alive" If you saw that little donkey go. I soon showed him that 'e'd have to do Just whatever he was wanted to, Still I shan't forget that rowdy crew, 'Ollerin' Woa! steady! Neddy woa! -Chorus.
